Kane hated Myrtenia, actually Kane hated most of Myria.
While walking down the main avenue, you could still see the signs of police crackdowns, and discrimination.
Cracks in the pavement from gunfire, signs warning to watch out for sylvens, and of course nobody in the city even batted an eye.
Besides Kane of course.
Dressed in a suit and tie, with a briefcase in his hand, he wouldn't have looked out of place, except he was a sylven, and sylvens were not supposed to be in Myrtenia.
Well aware of the hostile glances he was receiving Kane strode up to the building in front of him, it was modern, with a large glass wall facing the street.
Two guards, one male, one female, both bearing rifles blocked his path.
"Why are you here?" They stared at him hostilely.
Kane grinned. "I need to speak with Doctor Simon Pearce."
The guard's eyes narrowed. "Your kind aren't welcome here, Sylven."
Kane stared at them, completely serious. "I'm well aware, I mean why do you think I brought a bomb?"
He slammed his fist into the male guards face, then slid the briefcase towards the door of the building.
The other guard fired at him, sending bullets flying into his chest.
He smiled, then gave a mock salute to the guards, turning away from the building. "See you in the afterlife."
3... 2... 1...
The briefcase exploded, a shock wave burst outwards, the air burned, shrapnel flew everywhere.
Kane's back was scorched to the bone, and pieces of glass and metal embedded themselves in his skin, everything hurt.
Drawing in on the pain around him, Kane's back began to reform.
Not dying today, I'm afraid.
He looked down, his suit was in tatters, but his grenades and gun were still intact.
Aw... That suit was brand new.
Kane walked into the blasted out lobby, scanning for guards.
It appeared most had been taken out in the explosion.
He confidently strode through the empty halls, though it seemed everyone of note was huddling in their offices, that would make his job easier.
Three guards rounded the corner, then opened fire on him.
Kane winced as bullets punched through him, then quickly returned fire, and ducked into a doorway.
Looking down at his belt he grabbed a grenade, popped off the pin, and rolled it into the hallway.
A loud explosion sounded in the hallway, peering out Kane saw that the guards had been thrown against the wall like ragdolls, though one was still technically alive.
Good.
Once again drawing on the guard's pain, Kane healed, and continued heading towards his destination.
The office door was small and unassuming, a sign to the left of it read simply: Dr. Simon Pearce, Aspect Manipulation, and Insertion.
Grinning, Kane opened the door, to find a small balding man huddled behind a desk. Upon seeing Kane, he began to shake.
"What do you want?"
Kane gave him an amused look. "Really Doctor Pearce? You haven't guessed?"
The man held up a small pistol and aimed it at him. "Whatever it is, I won't help you!"
Kane snorted, then raised his gun, aiming it at Dr. Pearce. "Fire the gun, and you're dead."
Trembling he lowered his gun.
Shouts sounded in the hallway, accompanied by the stomping of feet. Kane frowned. "All right, onto the balcony."
After hesitating, the doctor walked out onto his office's balcony, Kane followed.
A helicopter descended from the sky, lowering a rope ladder along with it.
"Up." Kane waved his gun again, and the doctor began to climb up the ladder, but then stopped.
He turned to face Kane. "What do you want from me?"
Kane grinned, then began climbing the ladder. "Well doctor, you're being hired!"
